How to remove circumcision ring

The circumcision device or elastic ring used after circumcision will usually fall off on its own 7-15 days after the operation, and no special treatment is required. If it does not fall off after this time or if there are abnormalities, it needs to be evaluated by a doctor and dealt with.

Most circumcision devices used after circumcision are made of absorbable material and will gradually loosen and fall off as the wound heals. Slight edema and pain may occur within 1-3 days after surgery, which is normal. Keep the wound clean and dry, and gently rinse it daily with saline or an antiseptic solution recommended by your doctor. Avoid strenuous exercise or friction and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear. It can be observed that the ring body begins to loosen 5-7 days after the operation. At this time, do not pull it forcefully or cut it off by yourself. In most cases, the annulus will completely fall off in about 10 days, and the wound surface will show pink new tissue. If it has not fallen off after 14 days, it may be due to individual differences in healing, and a review is required to rule out ring incarceration or infection.

The wound should be observed for continued bleeding, suppuration, or severe pain after surgery. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and consume more high-quality protein and vitamin C to promote healing. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol. If there is ring displacement, abnormal bleeding or fever exceeding 38°C, seek medical attention immediately. Depending on the situation, the doctor may use sterile instruments to assist in removal or prescribe antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. No sexual intercourse during the recovery period until the wound is completely healed, which usually takes 4-6 weeks.
